<p>I am looking for a few backup schools for civil engineering. I'm going to apply to Cal Poly SLO, Pomona, and Cal state Long Beach, but I'm looking for a forth school to apply to in the Cal State System. It looks like I have brought my decision down to San Jose State and San Diego State. Out of those two, which one has a better reputation for Civil Engineering, or just engineering in general? I'm kind of confused, as I'm getting mixed reviews for both campuses. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!</p>
<p>SDSU will be as selective as SLO. Please apply but, don’t think it as a backup.<br>
In-state non-local aplicants need a CSU Index of 4100+
[CSUMentor</a> - Plan for College - High School Students - Eligibility Index](<a href=“Cal State Apply | CSU”>GPA Calculator | CSU)
Look here for details on how to calculate your Index</p>
<p>CSULB you’ll need 3800, Pomona, probably around 3700. Chico is about 3600. SJSU varies significantly by major I think it’s 3300 for Civil Engineering. You can search their web-site for this year’s threshold my major. </p>
<p>See where you stand with your index and post back if you want more specific recomendations.
Go to CSUMenotor.edu
Apply to a bunch, see who</p>
<p>My CSU Index is close to 4600. Is there really any reason why SDSU would have such a high index for engineering, even though the Cal Poly’s are a lot better for engineering? (Not saying that SDSU is bad or anything)…</p>
<p>Great Work! You are a shoe in for any CSU.</p>
<p>Supply and demand…
SDSU has 52k applicants and accepted 16k.
Cal Poly had 40k applicants and accepted 14k.</p>
<p>Could be the pretty girls and warmer water…</p>
